Why Sail with HX Expeditions?
Set sail with HX Expeditions for a journey shaped by over 130 years of Norwegian pioneering spirit and true expedition expertise. HX go beyond cruising, offering mindful adventures to destinations few others reach, with a strong focus on science, learning and respect for nature and communities. Their purpose-built, hybrid-powered ships are designed to explore more responsibly, while still delivering comfort and style. Voyages are all-inclusive, typically covering guided landings and excursions, dining, selected drinks, gratuities, and access to the onboard Science Centre. Their Expedition Team of scientists and storytellers brings each destination to life, so you return home inspired, informed and deeply connected to the planet.
Science and Discovery
The onboard Science Centre is the heart of the ship. Guests can explore interactive exhibits, use microscopes and learn from onboard experts. Citizen Science projects may allow travellers to contribute to meaningful research, supporting global understanding and conservation. Daily talks and briefings on wildlife, geology, culture and climate make every landing more engaging.
Sustainable by Design
HX Expeditions are known for a strong sustainability focus. They pioneered bans on heavy fuel oil and non-essential single-use plastics in key regions, and their hybrid-powered ships help reduce fuel use and emissions. They follow strict landing and wildlife guidelines, support local communities and may include activities like beach clean-ups, helping protect fragile environments.
All-Inclusive Adventure
HX's all-inclusive approach makes expedition travel feel effortless. Voyages typically include daily guided landings and excursions, small-boat operations and selected equipment loans. Guests enjoy full board dining across multiple venues, with selected beer, wine and spirits, plus gratuities included. Complimentary Wi-Fi is often available, and an expedition jacket or kit is usually included.
Experts by Your Side
HX Expeditions sail with a handpicked Expedition Team of destination specialists, scientists and natural storytellers. They lead shore landings, small-group hikes and wildlife encounters, adding depth through talks, workshops and daily briefings. With backgrounds from marine biology to glaciology and archaeology, they help guests explore safely and respectfully.
Comfort for Explorers
HX Expeditions' small, purpose-built expedition ships reach places larger vessels cannot, while still offering space to relax. There’s no formal dress code, so outdoor gear is always welcome. After a day of discovery, guests can unwind in panoramic saunas, hot tubs and lounges with sweeping views, then enjoy excellent dining and comfortable cabins.
